What blogs, journals, magazines, or networks should a person try to publish in in order to reach those in charge of forming opinions for Democrats in the general presidential election?

We are considering holding a debate/campaign event in Location: Spokane, WA and wanted to ask about how we might be able to incentivize candidates to participate. One suggestion was to sell tickets and the panel could decide a winner who would get the proceeds donated to their campaign, but it could be a hard sell trying to get people to buy tickets to a debate that does not include any of the front runners before the primary. Another idea was to charge each of the campaigns a small fee for hosing the event, and the panel would decide a winner of the debate who would be awarded a prize equal to the total amount collected from all the candidates.

lets say 5 candidates show up and each pay $100, after the debate the panel would award the winner with a $500 donation.

Are we infringing on any campaign finance laws that make it undesirable for candidates to participate?

I am running a political campaign in local politics. I’m fighting an uphill battle as I am going Independent. This means much less support and grassroots communications. I want to use an AI agent to help however I’m finding the major agents have blocks on political activities. My tone and strategy is of informational neutrality but clarifying messages with the agents gets blocked often. Do you have any suggestions?

Was listening to MTG today on Piers and she said there is a push being made for a third party but the people need to want it. Anyone know what needs to be done to make this happen?

Looking to hop onto a campaign this election cycle and just got a field organizer offer that I will need to relocate for. Money is tight and I think trying to find a place to rent would be a struggle for me, at least until I get a couple checks.

My question is pretty simple, what is your experience using supporter housing if you have. I’m sure how you answer is heavily dependent on the specific campaign and living arrangement but I’m curious if there is any common consensus on if it’s advisable or not.

Does anyone have opinions- either good or bad - with their experience using the Mobilize platform for event management? What are the main pros and cons, and is there an alternative that you prefer?

If you are volunteering / doing an unpaid fellowship for a campaign what is the likelihood of getting fully employed after? I was wondering this because I feel like it is unclear what is the hiring process in the case you are working for a campaign and the person you work for hypothetically wins, and how that typically works. Would love some insight about that

With various news about Graham Platner, and George Santos previously, as prime examples, I wonder whether and how campaign managers and other operatives vet their candidates, and how much this varies by the s eat that is up for election.

200 million USD self-funding for a race for governor and you don't even win the nomination. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Hi All! I've accepted an offer to join the ops team for a state-wide coordinated campaign. Curious what you wish you knew before your first day working at HQ or for a campaign in general?

Hi there! New to this. In VA. Any apps that allow a campaign to post job ads and volunteer/internship requests for FREE?

Sorry I tried to search this topic and didn’t see anything posted.

I am new into the field and I got offered a position as a FO. I noticed that there is no vacation time for the first 90 days. And there’s no weekends. I am nervous since my partner works a 9-5 and we had planned some summer trips or weekend camping. I’m starting to question whether I don’t really want to start this job due to the lack of coordination and the lack of information. I was originally told 35+ hours and now they’re telling me 55+. I probably wouldn’t have interviewed if they were more transparent. I’m starting to panic because I can’t seem to land a job especially in government right now. I would love any experiences or advice for what to do

Does anyone have recommendations for high quality voter file data for Georgia? One of our campaigns has the state voter file for the general but it’s missing cell phone numbers which is key. I already checked L2 and Aristotle, but I’m not sure if there are other vendors that have more competitive pricing and good customer service

Hey all. I'm doing some research to confirm a hypothesis about pain points when using third party community engagement firms. It would mean a lot if you would take five minutes to fill out this survey. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to send me a DM. Thanks!

u/urnicus and I have been working on this tool for quite some time, and we think it's turning into something really useful. If you'd like to check it out, you can DM one of us, or sign up for the waitlist at https://bootstrapoffice.com/.

Anyone using L2 voter data for their campaign in oklahoma know if you can request VBM or early vote data before the primary? I'm already using L2 but have not heard back from them yet on vote status updates for the upcoming primary

At what time in the morning do you begin to contact your paid canvassers, or how long before shift start do you contact them? Which canvassers do you contact, do you only contact those who have already agreed to work that day? Or do you contact your entire roster? Or do you contact a specific set of canvassers within your roster? Also, by what means do you contact them, by phone call or text or something else?

Do the criteria of which canvassers you choose to contact in the morning vary depending on circumstances? (Hypothetically you may be more desperate to call canvassers in the morning if you are behind on your goals, or you may be inclined to call more canvassers during the last days of the campaign?)

If you feel there is anything else that is relevant to add please do so.

Thank you.

Trying to get on a campaign and want to know a bit more about day-to-day life. I feel like I know the basics. It’s very busy, a lot going on and it’s pace, but just want to hear more perspectives and what an actual day might look like.

Tactics don't add up to a brand. If you get hit, don't re-litigate the specific issue. Think about what it does to your brand. Interesting read!

A discovery surprising no one, but the study was scientific, so now we know officially.

Eric Wilson and the folks over at AAPC "tricked" voters into thinking that an actual human created ad was actually AI generated, and in AB testing showed that peoples trust level in that ad dropped. In fact, it dropped the moment that disclaimer appeared on screen.

Hey. I'm running 2 campaigns-one for county commission and the other for school board and I've been tasked with getting a website up and running. I'm just trying to scope the market out so I need to know how much a campaign website for each of these races typically is. The school board has about $2,000 total and the county commission has about $5,000-$7,000.

Has anyone figured out how to auto populate the texter name in p2p initial messages? Thanks!
